Application tiled `March 31, 1921. aerial llo. lil-57AM.'

.To all whom 'it may concern: v Be it known that l, llllrr':Hanny Bananen, a citizen of Ukraine, residing at Revloc, in the county of Cambria and State of Pennsyl- Vania, have invented certain new and useful llmprovements in Combination rlools, of which the following is a specication.

rlhis invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in combination. tools, and has particular reference to a tool having a head provided with removable bit members with the handle Mof the tool being of tubu-v lar construction, and threadably receiving a tool in the outer end thereof.

@ne of the objects of the invention resides in the provision of a combination tool wherein a magnet is adjustably secured to the inner end of the handle portion thereof adapted for picking up articles of dide'rent types,

the handle portion when out of use.

lWith these genera-l objects in' view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same conand arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accom.

panying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims. A

lin the drawing forminga part of this application, and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a side elevational view partly in section with the combination tool constructed in accordance with the present invention showing a removable bit or point attached to the head of the tool, and a removable tool secured within the inner end of the handle and the magnet resiliently supported by the tool hand-le;

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of a hatchet blade attachment for the tool head' Fig. 3 is a fragmentary front elevational a5 view of the inner portion of the tool handle all showin vthe magnet in its open position by dotted ines;

Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of the inner end ofthe tool handletaken at right to angles to the showing in Fig. 3;

. Fi 5 is a sectional view taken on line 1l7- of Fig. 4l, showing the spring mounting for the magnet and the slotted bearing for .the pivot pin supporting the magnet; t5 y Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken on with the magnet substantially housed within sists of the novel construction, combinatiom,

line Vlie-Vl of Fig. 3, showing the lingernal slot for moving the magnet on itspivot; an

Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken on line Fill-Vfl of Fig. 3, showing the grooved pivoting head for the magnet'.

Referring more in detail to the accompanying drawing, ,there isillustrated a combination tool embodying a tubular handle 1 carrying a head 2 with a radial hammer head 3 and a socket portion 1 extending op posite the hammer head 3. 'As shown in Fig. 1 a bit 5.. provided with a threaded stern 6 is received in a threaded opening formed in the socket portion t, this bit being removable from the head2 to permit the substitution of implements of dierent types, there being illustrated in Fig. 2 a hatchetblade 5 provided with a threaded stem 6 for reception in the socket portion l of the tool head 2.

191s shown in Fig. 1, the inner end of the tubular handle 1 isfinternally threaded and receives thel threaded shank 7 of the screwdriver 8 the handle 9. of the screw-driver forming a continuation of the tubular handie 1 as shown.

` A magnet is associated with the handle 9 of the screw-driver member, or if desired the handle portion 1 may be constructed at its inner end to accommodate the mounting of the magnet, the screwdriver handle 9' being pirovided with al longitudinal socket 10 wit a coil spring 11 received in the socket and having the inner end thereof anchored to the cross-pin 12. The wall at one side of the socket 10"is cut away as at 13,

to receive a magnet body 14a, the magnet be ing provided at its inner end with a .circular head 15 closing the lower end of the socket 10 and cutaway portion 13, and pivt otally mounted uponthe transverse pin 16. rlhe bearing head 15 is provided with a side opening slot 17 into which the lower end of the spring 11 extends for anchoring upon the pin 16. As shown in Figs. l and 5 the bearing pin 16 is mounted in oppositely disposed slotted openings 18. The free end of the magnet 111 is out on an incline as at 14C for engagement with the inclined upper wall 9 of the cutaway portion 13 of the handle 9, these inclined engaging walls retain ing the magnetv 1t in the closed position shown in Fig. 1.

When it is desired to move the magnet 1l on its pivotal mounting, the operator engages the finger-nail groove 19 in the side of the magnet body, facilitated bythe clearance opening 20 in the tool handle 9, as shown in Figs. 3 and 6, to move the -magnet lon itudinally of the handle 9 against the pull of the spring 11 to disengage the 1nclined opening walls 9 and 14;', whereupon the magnet may be moved upon the pin 16 and retained in an extended axial position with the tool handle by the spring 1l. The magnet in this position may then be used for lifting articles of .different kinds or siaes, without necessitating the operator bending over. The handle 9 of the screw-driver is capable of removal from the tool handle l and the screw-driver may be employed for magnetically lifting screws andplacing the same in their correct position. The magnet 14 may also be employed for lifting nails to be driven home by the hammer head 3, the entire tool being serviceable in various arts by the features herein set forth.

While the form of the-invention herein shown and described is what is believed to be the preferred embodiment thereof, it is nevertheless tobe understood that various forms, vmodifications, and arrangements of the parts may be made wit-hout departing from the spirit and scope ofthe invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention,l

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a device of the class described, a tool embodying a handle portion, a magnet pivotally supported at the inner' end of the 11andle and capable of sliding movement relative thereto, means for retaining the magnet in its inoperative position, said means including a spring and inclined engaging walls forme on the magnet and tool handle maintained in contact by said spring.

' 2. In an implement of the type described,

,a tool embodying a handle portion, and have MICHAEL BALAZIUK. Witnesses: J. R. WEAVER,
